You'll remember we wrote in late September about the unintended consequence of promises made to Scotland to keep it in the Union. Namely, that the English will want their own parliament like that of the Scots or the Northern Irish. Today comes an article in The Telegraph (U.K.) which underscores that drive.
I'm no expert but why don't the various regions elect their members of parliament and then have each region's members meet separately to consider regional issues. There is really no need for separate M.P.s at both the region and national level, and perhaps some advantage in having the same people making both regional and national decisions, in separate settings as needed.
